Abstract

Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is a crucial riverine parameter in terms that it can be utilized for analyzing sediment transport, stability assessment of river and structure and so on. However, in case of domestic, sediment discharge data are not enough because of using conventional sediment samplers. This study aimed at developing a practical technique for estimating suspended sediment concentration in high spatial and temporal resolution by building relationship between acoustic backscatter (or SNR) from H-ADCP with actually observed data using LISST-100X. In this regard, a dedicated correction algorithm was proposed particularly for the adapted H-ADCP (SonTek SL-3000). Then, a SNR-SSC relation was built based upon a real-scale field experiment, where both H-ADCP and LISST-100X were concurrently operated to observe SNR and SSC, respectively. The coefficient of determination for the developed regression equation of SNR-SSC relation was around 0.85~0.88, thereby the relation could be evaluated to be highly correlated. The result of this study might be potentially applied for real-time and simultaneous observation of SSC when H-ADCP could be applied.

부유사 농도는 유사이송해석, 하천 및 구조물의 안정성 평가 등에 있어서 매우 중요한 자료라 할 수 있다. 그러나, 국내의 경우 주로 재래식 채집방식으로 유사량을 관측하고 있어 유사량 자료가 현저히 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수평초음파도플러유속계(H-ADCP)에서 제공하는 신호대잡음비(SNR)와 레이저부유사측정기(LISST-100X)를 활용한 실측 부유사농도와의 상관관계를 구축하여 H-ADCP를 활용하여 공간 시간적으로 정밀한 유사량을 지속적으로 추정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 H-ADCP의 신호대잡음비 보정식을 개발하였으며, 실규모 하천에서 유사를 인위적으로 공급하며 H-ADCP와 LISST를 활용하여 신호대잡음비와 부유사농도 자료를 계측하고, 개발된 보정식이 적용된 신호대잡음비-부유사농도(SNR-SSC) 관계식을 시범적으로 구축해 보았다. 구축한 SNR-SSC 관계로부터 상관계수 0.85~0.88의 상대적으로 높은 상관도를 가진 선형회귀식을 구성할 수 있었으며, 본 연구 결과는 자동유량측정장치로 사용되고 있는 H-ADCP를 적절히 활용할 경우 실시간 유사량 관측이 가능하다는 점을 시사한다.
